  • SwiftUI and SwiftData frameworks
  • CloudWatch SDK components

Quick Start

Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/vegasq/dinodbapp.git
cd dinodbapp

Standard Build

xcodebuild -project DinoDB.xcodeproj -scheme DinoDB -configuration Debug build

Clean Build

xcodebuild -project DinoDB.xcodeproj -scheme DinoDB clean build

Build Scripts

Automated Building

The project includes build automation scripts for common scenarios:

# Full build with tests
./scripts/build-full.sh

# Quick development build
./scripts/build-dev.sh

# Release build with signing
./scripts/build-release.sh

Testing

Unit Tests

xcodebuild test -project DinoDB.xcodeproj -scheme DinoDB -only-testing:DinoDBTests

UI Tests

xcodebuild test -project DinoDB.xcodeproj -scheme DinoDB -only-testing:DinoDBUITests

Code Coverage

xcodebuild test -project DinoDB.xcodeproj -scheme DinoDB -enableCodeCoverage YES

Troubleshooting

Common Build Issues

  • SDK Version Mismatch: Update Xcode and Swift
  • Dependency Conflicts: Clean derived data
  • Signing Issues: Check provisioning profiles
  • Architecture Errors: Verify target settings

Debug Tools

  • Xcode debugger integration
  • Performance profiling tools
  • Memory leak detection
  • Network request monitoring

Build Optimization

  • Parallel build settings
  • Compiler optimization flags
  • Link-time optimization
  • Dead code elimination
